Overview

• Reporting from New York indicates the U.S. president has prepared a Gaza proposal for Arab and Muslim leaders and for Benjamin Netanyahu, including an immediate cease-fire, mutual detainee and hostage releases, and a U.S. commitment that Gaza and the West Bank are outside any Israeli annexation plan.
• Benjamin Netanyahu used his UN address to vow the defeat of remaining Hamas elements, denounce Iran, outline plans for disarmament and a new civil authority in Gaza, and state that 48 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza with 20 alive, as delegations staged a coordinated walkout in protest.
• Egypt’s foreign minister said the Palestinian file tops Cairo’s priorities, citing ongoing training of Palestinian police with Jordan, possible limited international deployments to support the Palestinian Authority, a technocratic interim administration for Gaza, and an upcoming Cairo conference on early recovery and reconstruction.
• Jordan’s foreign minister said there is global consensus on a two-state solution and labeled Israel the sole obstacle, as a wave of European recognitions of Palestine added diplomatic weight during UN week.
• Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Israel’s military intelligence formed two units focused on Houthi activity in Yemen, reflecting a broader reallocation of Israeli resources to address expanding regional threats.
